We’ve partnered up with Airbnb to try out their newest platform, Airbnb Trips. Instead of haul assing to a foreign country and just skimming the surface, Airbnb Trips unlocks unique places and cultures through the people who live there. From getting schooled in acrobatics by a stunt double in LA to appreciating the art of burlesque in London, the opportunities to live like a local and explore your passions anywhere are endless.
Jason Statham is one fine piece of ass, is he not? Unfortunately for all’a you, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley snapped that shit up quick smart which is ah, a little bit sucky, considering the Stathams of the world are hard to come by.
BUT FEAR NOT, YOU GUYS, WE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING. His bloody body double. And yep, you can bet your toey asses that we got all up on that (quite literally) thanks to the fact that the guy – named David ‘Soop’ Frison – is available to the masses through Airbnb‘s new venture, Airbnb Trips. Basically you can get more outta your trips through people who live there, and we’re sah into it.
P.TV‘s Creative Producer, Jordana Johnson, recently went down to Santa Monica‘s frothed-over Original Muscle Beach (made famous by Arnie back in the day) to experience it for herself, and, of course, report back to us in full detail.
She actually did a pretty good job, mastering The Thigh Stand, The Foot Flag and The High Bird (translate: iconic Dirty Dancing move) with Soop. Watch for shits n’ gigs or general lesson-learning below:
“Soop is a IRL local. Literally every person – ranging from 20-85 years old – that walked past knew and had conversations with him. It’s SUCH a community down there, so instantly we felt a part of that community.
“The lesson went for 2 hours during sunset and was a beautiful thanksgiving Thursday.
Soop ran us through the history of the beach and talked us through how learning these moves isn’t about strength – it’s about balancing weights with your partner correctly.”
Wanna give it a crack for yourself? Book Soop’s ‘Stunt & Acrobatics In The Sand‘ experience HERE. He also doubles for The Rock and Sylvester Stallone if they’re more your flava.
You can check out the full range of Airbnb Trips HERE (there are a tonne, so whether your passion is sport, nature, social impact, entertainment, arts or food, they’ll have you covered). All you gotta do is connect with the local expert, book in the available dates via the app and Bob’s your international uncle.
